Pets From The Past To The Present

Starting out with the dogs.

• Bandit, the Heeler Mix is my top dog. I had him since he was 7 weeks old and passed away at 14 years old from spleen cancer just recently . He was quite hyper 0_o A bit skittish toward new people and quite the territorial, protective mug but none the less he is the most "real" dog I have ever had. Residing and passed away in the country at my brothers home in Colorado. 

•  Milo, the Jack Russel Mix was a cute pup for the short time we had him. Unfortunately we had to re-home him do to moving to a tiny apartment. Milo simply could not stand small, enclosed spaces. Some friends whom have a farm have him now and he is happy as can be.

• Bessie, the Retriever/Chow Mix and Huns, the purebred German Shepard were my first two pets I ever had. They were my childhood dogs.  Bessie lived to the ripe age of 11 years old and past away from cancer. Huns unfortunately dug out the family yard and ran away never to be seen again =(

• Rocky,  the Lab/Chow Mix was my next childhood dog. Had him when he was just a little 8 week ball of fuzz and had him till the ripe age of 16 years old and he ended up passing away in his sleep.

• Delta, the border heeler. This lovely lady has some high anxiety but very loving. She is very athletic and super protective of her property

• Allyn, the red heeler. He is our most recent addition. Totally laid back and loves to play with Delta. Eating is his favorite pastime as well. 

Then came the cats.....

• Tilly, long-haired Maine-Coon tabby mix is our most recent addition. Got her as a kitten and is about 8+ year old now and is a indoor cat. She loves her food and loves to play, play, play!

• Dot, a tabby and her sister Lilly, also a tabby got them as itty bitty kittens. Unfortunately Dot escaped out the door one day and never came back. Lilly about 9+ years old now resides with us still and is happy as can be as a indoor cat. She is quite the talkative little cat and overall rather delicate. 

• King, the black DSH was my first cat. He was already a adult when we got him from a neighbor. He was a tough little cat and actually ended up losing a eye from a dog. He was 20+ years old when unfortunately was forced to euthanize him due to incontinence and he could barely walk anymore. It was for the best =(

• Smokey, grey DLH was my second kitty. A very skittish, scared but lovable and talkative little cat. Had him since he was a kitten and he past away in his sleep at 13 years old.

•  Dixie, the tabby DSH was my third kitty. She was a feisty but lovable cat. She was given to me as 1 year-old cat by some friends who found her in a ditch. She passed away recently from old age in 2018.

• Molly, the black DSH was a feral kitty that just popped up one day. She was a sweet tiny little cat but sadly she disappeared one day and never saw her again =(

• Khoda, the tabby DSH (pictured w/Bandit above) was a awesome outside cat. A good mouser and a very independent but still lovable cat. Had him since he was a tiny kitten until he was taken away at the age of 6 years old from a coyote attack =(

• Gracie, the grey DSH was the sixth kitty. She happened upon our doorstep one day. She was and still is a great cat whom acted like a little dog. She currently resides at a family friend's farm due the fact she insisted on being a outside cat. Last I heard she is still roaming around with another little kitty friend =)

• Mojo, the orange DSH was a talkative but lovable kitty. Got him when he was a kitten and had him for about a year as a indoor cat until we lost him when he escaped out the door. He disappeared and we never were able to find him again =( 

And of course along the way a variety of other critters...

• Other in between pets included many rabbits, a couple hamsters, a hedgehog, a lizard, a box turtle, slider turtles, ducks and a white albino rat named PipSqueak.

So if you can't tell I am a very avid animal lover and have plenty of experience when it comes to pets! 

I will always love, cherish and respect all animals of every shape, size and temperament that come into my life.
